Gunk Shot is strong, and it literally throws a garbage can, which is neat.

Both Lick and Sludge Wave are relatively ineffective on defense.

Rating Explanation:

Smell that? That’s the scent of great gym defender decaying with each legendary released. For the longest time, the best answer to Muk was Dragonite. Frail Psychic-types couldn’t handle the combination of Infestation and Dark Pulse, and Ground-types were so slow that neutral attackers would get the job done faster. The release of Lugia, an extremely bulky Psychic-type, posed the first real threat to Muk’s viability. With Mewtwo and Groudon out, Muk has become yesterday's news.

While Muk is no longer an upper tier gym defender, it is still a very good gym defender. Its Poison-typing walls any Machamp trying to plow through.
